About
Cultural Dichotomy is very simply the musings of one man’s journey with God. I’ve been called to be on mission with Him in seeing His kingdom come. At it’s core, my call is about being the eyes, ears, mouth, hands, and feet of Jesus.

Feel free to come along as I ask questions and tell stories about this journey of mine.
